1 8.1 Polynomial Functions Algebra Goal 1: Evaluate polynomial functions. Goal : Identify general shapes of the graphs of polynomial functions. 1. What is a polynomial in one variable? Example 1: Determine if each expression is a polynomial in one variable. If so, determine its degree. If not, state the reason. a. x xy y b. a a 4 1 c. 1 n n d. 4 1b 6b 8 e. t 15t 9 f c 15c 4 6. Draw a graph of a polynomial function of degree zero to degree five.

2 Example : Determine whether each graph is odd or even. Then state how many real zeros each function has. Example 3: Find pm if 3. Example 4: Find f(3) f( 3) p( x) 3x 8x x if f ( x) x 4x 6. Example 5: Find f ( x h) for each function for the function f ( x) 3x 1. Example 6: Find f ( x h) for each function for the function f ( x) x x. Example 7: Find f ( x h) for each function for the function 3 f ( x) x x.

Use f( x) to perform the following tasks.. Use synthetic division to divide terms.) 4 3 f ( x) 3x x x 6 by x. (Don t forget to put zeroes in for missing 3. Compare the answer to number one and the remainder to number two. What did you notice? Task : Let 4 3 f ( x) x x 10x 5x 7. Use f( x) to perform the following tasks. (You will get a larger number than you are used to.) 4. Find f (8). 5.

Using synthetic division to find the value of a function is called. The Remainder Theorem: If a polynomial f( x) is divided by x a, the remainder is the constant f( a ), and Dividend = quotient divisor + remainder where qxis ( ) a polynomial with degree than the degree of f( x ).

4 Task 3: Let 7. Find f ( 4). 3 f ( x) x 4x x 4. Use f( x) to perform the following tasks. 8. Use synthetic division to divide 3 f ( x) x 4x x 4 by x Compare the answer to number seven and the remainder to number eight. What did you notice? 10. This remainder is different when compared to tasks 1 and. What do you think this means? The Factor Theorem: The binomial x ais a factor of the polynomial f( x) if and only if f( a). Example: Given a polynomial and one of its factors, find the remaining factors of the polynomial. Some factors may not be binomials. A ; x 5 B. 3 x x x 7 40 ; x 3 x x x
